I'm 57 years old ( but I read on a 58 year old level), and I remember when I was about nine or ten years old that the McDonald's around here ran a promotion where if you could walk up to the counter and say the "Two all beef patties..." jingle in five seconds, you would get the burger for free. I have always been fairly ambivalent about the burger, but I have always been a huge fan of free food. I trained myself to recite the jingle in three seconds back in the day, and even today with my advanced age (and reading ability), I can do it in about four seconds. That was a fantastic marketing campaign.

I do miss the Flintstones, Here we come on the run, with a burger on a bun and a slice of dill pickle on the side.

Interesting fact: For several years around 2010, the Big Mac was nowhere to be seen in ads or the overhead menus of Argentinian McDonalds. If you checked the small menus in the walls to the side, you would find it there prized way, way cheaper than similarly sized combos. It was speculated that this was an agreement with Guillermo Moreno, the then commerce secretary, to modify how Argentina was ranked in the big mac index. This has been denied by McDonalds, but there is no clear explanation about why the big mac was hidden from the public or priced that cheap. As a person that grew there during that decade, it came to a surprise to me to learn that it was supposedly the flagship product of the brand.

@@kewl851 Remember the part of the video where it talks about the "Big Mac Index"? This index classifies countries' buying power by how expensive their big macs are. Argentina has a long history of trying to hide inflation, and during that decade "for some reason" the big mac was half the price of everything else and absolutely hidden from public view. Hence it is speculated that the government paid Mcdonalds to reduce the price of the big mac so that we would be better positioned in the big mac index.

When my family and I last traveled to China in 2006, my dad tried the Mega Mac at a McDonald's in Hangzhou. At the time, the Mega Mac had four meat patties: two in between the middle bun and the top bun and two in between the middle bun and the bottom bun. When my dad had a taste of the Mega Mac, he thought that at the time, Big Mac in America tasted better. Me, today, because McDonald's isn't exactly high-quality food where I live currently (Memphis, TN, that is), I haven't had a Big Mac in goodness who knows how long. Plus, I tested positive for borderline pre-diabetes recently so on top of watching out for sugary stuff, I have to keep an eye on what types of grains that I can put inside of me. Sandwiches like Big Macs are only for special occasions for me.

@@sicknado I don't understand it either. I like cucumbers, but pickles just bother me, for some reason.

Yanno, while I love pickles to death personally, I feel there should be a push to have unpickled cukes as an option. I feel like those are equally valid and if anything, crunchier for people who want a burger with more bite.

It was an event, a rite of passage when my dad took me for my first Big Mac, it was just cheeseburgers before then. I was around 8 or so and could barely finish the entire thing.

I dont know about others but the addition of shredded lettuce in the big mac helps balance it with the abundance of condiments/dressing and the juicy patties inside that burger

I really like the Big Mac, but I am able to consistently get a BOGO free offer from the McDonalds app on my phone. The cost of a single Big Mac now is kind of ridiculous frankly. But being able to get two for that price, that's pretty good. I have made the Big Mac sauce many times and I can get it to taste pretty much exactly like the McDonalds version.

He created the Big Mac to compete with the Big Boy burger sold at the other popular Pittsburgh area restaurant called Eat 'N Park. He also created the Egg McMuffin and the hot cakes and sausage breakfast item.

Eatnpark did have a double decker sandwich. However, the Bob's Big Boy was only at Bob's Big Boy restaurants.

During the mid-80s, McDonald's held a promotional contest based on the Big Mac song. When you made the appropriate purchase from McDonald's you could receive a 45 sized vinyl record that featured the Big Mac song being sung by a group of children. The contest was reliant on whether or not the kids singing the song could accurately complete the song. If they did not complete the song, your record was a loss. However, if you got the record of which the kids did correctly complete the song, then your record was a winner. (A large amount of money being the grand prize, if I remember right.)

I would like a doc on taco stands/trucks. I love going to taco trucks and have all my life. I honestly think they are the most delicious thing for the price and need more recognition for feeding my part of America.

Was the MegaMac a global thing? I remember it being a special item in the 90’s but on local McDonalds kept on doing it after the promotion. I never knew if it was sold elsewhere.

It's interesting that the special sauce recipe was changed in 2004. I believe that was the same year I ate a Big Mac and suffered from a horrible case of explosive diarrhea. I never ate another Big Mac since. I only go to McDonald's for their breakfasts.
